“…Electrospinning is one of the simplest topdown methods that allows for an easy generation of nanofibers from a wide variety of materials, especially polymers which were proven to be useful for many applications like filtration or controlled drug-release. 1,2 However, in spite of various attempts, the preparation of porous polymeric nanofibers with high surface areas could not be realized so far.…”

“…The introduction of un-spinnable fluids into the process can greatly expand the range of novel functional nanomaterials which can be produced [28]. There are only slightly over 100 polymers which have filament-forming properties in electrospinning, and even these often can only be processed in a very narrow concentration window [53]. Our previous report of modified tri-axial spinning used a pure solvent as the outer fluid, a spinnable Eudragit solution in the center, and an unspinnable drug/phospholipid core, with the aim of generating a colon-targeted delivery system [28].…”

Using cellulose acetate (CA) as a filament-forming polymeric matrix and ferulic acid (FA) as a model drug, nanoscale drug depots in the form of core-shell fibers were designed and fabricated using a modified tri-axial electrospinning process. This employed a solvent mixture as the outer working fluid, as a result of which a robust and continuous preparation process could be achieved. The fiber-based depots had a linear morphology, smooth surfaces, and an average diameter of 0.62 ± 0.07 µm. Electron microscopy data showed them to have clear core-shell structures, with the FA encapsulated inside a CA shell. X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy results verified that FA was present in the crystalline physical form. In vitro dissolution tests revealed that the fibers were able to provide close to zero-order release over 36 h, with no initial burst release and minimal tailing-off. The release properties of the depot systems were much improved over monolithic CA/FA fibers, which exhibited a significant burst release and also considerable tailing-off at the end of the release experiment. Here we thus demonstrate the concept of using modified tri-axial electrospinning to design and develop new types of heterogeneous nanoscale biomaterials.

“…Among them, electrospinning is a method that is optimized to make continuous one-dimensional nanomaterials with polymers, oxides, and carbon [65,66]. This method includes electrospinning polymers with metal salts to obtain one-dimensional metal oxide nanofibers, and a subsequent reducing process to obtain metal nanofibers.…”

The recent advent of unprecedented wearable applications engendered the need for stretchable electronics, which can be realized by making the individual components stretchable. The transparent conducting electrode is one of the most important components of optoelectronic devices. Therefore, developing transparent electrodes in a stretchable form is essential for the implementation of stretchable electronics. In this paper, the recent efforts in the development of stretchable and transparent electrodes, particularly those using nanomaterials such as metal nanowires, metal nanofibers, and carbon nanotubes are introduced.
